Factors that increase the rate of periprosthetic dislocation after reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Patients with specific risk factors and co-morbidities are predisposed to developing PPD after RSA. Risk factors that were found to be associated with a higher incidence of PPD are gender (female), race (Caucasian), and age (young patients). Analysis revealed the history of tobacco-related disorder, obesity, morbid obesity, liver cirrhosis, and Parkinson's disease increased the odds of developing PPD following RSA. These findings can inform both healthcare providers and patients to improve RSA surgical outcomes and tailor post-surgery recovery programs to fit the patient's needs.
